Walking Posture for Kids

Has your mom or dad ever told you to sit up straight, or stand straight? Most of our parents have said that at some point, and there is actually quite a good reason for it. Posture is a word we use to describe the position of a person’s body, usually when they are standing or sitting. Our posture plays a large role in the health of our spine and muscles. For example, when you are slouched in your chair, that position puts a great deal of stress on certain points of the spine. Later on, it could cause back pain and other problems. By keeping our spines straight, with our heads and shoulders straight, we do much more than simply improving our physical health. Good posture also helps us to feel more confident and stronger. It is so simple to correct our posture; it can even improve our mood and energy levels! What are you waiting for? Let’s explore some fun resources on posture and how to improve it.
